I am looking for help! If anyone in Touring Land may know either who may have manufactured this type of system or if you know someone that can make a longer SS braided cable for this system without having to replace the entire system, is what I'm looking for.
I am replacing my factory 7.5" bars with 10" bars and was told I would not need new cables on my 09 Ultra Classic but for whatever reason they will not fit, no matter how much I reroute the cables. I am 2" short (reserve your comments) on my brake cable but looking at it, it separates from the block connection using a simple male/female connector (see the pic) - very smart! I haven't seen this system on anyother bike and am unsure where to search and how to search for it. I basically need a 23-24" cable with a female connector on one end and banjo bolt for the master cylinder on the other. See the attached pics.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I originally had the H-D braided brake and clutch lines. I recently replaced them with Magnum Shielding lines. They can make them +2" than OEM or whatever length you need. They have SS finish, as well a a chrome finish called Sterling Chromite and chrome fittings.
Russel also makes brake lines - both in stock format and whatever length required. Swapped mine over to Russell several years ago with the age of my ride and original brake lines (rubber) starting to show weather checking.

I 2nd this post, I used Magnum Shielding when I put new bars on my 04 fatboy and will use them again when I do my bars on the 14 SGS. great company to work with,
Edit: Here is mine from magnum shielding, this is on my 04 fatboy and I just did the bars last year.
Your HD dealer should be able to help. I got my matching braided clutch line (not cable) from the dealer longer than stock when I changed the handle bars. They asked if I needed brakes lines (not cables) and my stock lines were long enough, so I know they offer them also that match stock.
